In comments that were unfortunately prescient, Dr. Doroghazi said in the first edition the author feels we are currently experiencing a real estate bubble. And in anticipation of the credit crisis, he said banks are far too lenient in their lending practices...the problem is that bankers are often not lending their own money...considering that a significant percentages of mortgages are sold to Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE), the problem is now actually everyone's. This new and expanded edition provides commonsense advice that all investors, physicians and non-physicians will find profitable in these difficult times. Learn about the power of thrift, the magnificence of compound interest, the malevolence of debt and the perniciousness of fees. See how to pay off the mortgage by age 45, fund your children's education and retire at a reasonable age rather than continue to work because you must.
